Acts of Papal Kindness

Thumbnail

Reports abound about Pope Francis performing small acts of kindness, whether to a Swiss Guard, a hotel clerk or a newspaper salesman. Saint Therese of the Little Flower said that “small acts of kindness, done well and done often, mean more to God than anything else.” BOTH Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis are men who show kindness because they RESPECT others.

Discrimination of Homosexuals or Difference of Opinion

In light of the recent story (click here) about a Christian florist who faces significant fines for refusing to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding, I asked Father John Trigilio Jr., author, theologian and president of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy, to comment on the moral difference between unjust and just discrimination against homosexual persons.The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches (no. 2358):Never deny, seldom affirm, always distinguish

Back Off the Benny Bashing

Nothing more cowardly and unmanly than to make fun of an elderly man. Only someone who is insecure in their own masculinity has the audacity to launch verbal attacks on a true gentleman and scholar.

Papal Perspective

Thumbnail

Ever have the urge to just scream when you hear something totally stupid being offered as if words of wisdom? Bad enough many in the secular media are clueless about papal conclaves but worse yet is when Catholic journalists, priests especially, babble pablum and proliferate pedestrian nonsense.Recently, since the election and installation of His Holiness, Pope Francis, I have heard several Catholic commentators say on television and radio that finally we have a pope we can be excited about

Papal Wish List

Rather than opining on WHO should be elected the next Supreme Roman Pontiff (in terms of which person), it is more beneficial for us to ask the College of Cardinals to consider certain QUALITIES when they deliberate on their choice.

Epiphany Proclamation 2013

The Black Biretta: Epiphany Proclamation 2013 Epiphany Proclamation 2013 Epiphany Proclamation 2013Dear brothers and sisters, the glory of the Lord has shone upon us, and shall ever be manifest among us, until the day of his return.Through the rhythms of times and seasons let us celebrate the mysteries of salvation.Let us recall the year’s culmination, the Easter Triduum of the Lord: his Last Supper, his Crucifixion, his burial, and his rising celebrated between the evening of the 28th day of March and the evening of the 30th day of March, Easter Sunday being on the 31st day of March.Each Easter — as on each Sunday — the Holy Church makes present the great and saving deed by which Christ has forever conquered sin and death. From Easter are reckoned all the days we keep holy.Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, will occur on the 13th day of February.The Ascension of the Lord will be commemorated on the 9th day of May.Pentecost, joyful conclusion of the season of Easter, will be celebrated on the 19th day of May.And, this year the First Sunday of Advent will be on the 1st day of December.Likewise the pilgrim Church proclaims the Passover of Christ in the feasts of the holy Mother of God, in the feasts of the Apostles and Saints, and in the commemoration of the faithful departed.To Jesus Christ, who was, who is, and who is to come, Lord of time and history, be endless praise, for ever and ever.
